the business of problem solving and protection of assets very seriously and this is
supported by hundreds of satisfied customers. |
A few of
the advantages of Electroless Nickel over hard chrome
are :
|
|
• |
EN plates
to within two ten-thousandths of an inch of the required coating thickness, thus eliminating post grinding operations and cost. |
• |
Unlike
chroming, EN plates by a chemical redox process which provides uniformity to any configuration of substrate, including blind
holes, bolt threads, and impellers. |
• |
EN high
phosphorus (ENHP) corrosion resistance properties far surpass chrome, as ENHP is an amphorus metallic glass and does not
have the crystalline structure of chrome. ENHP can withstand 1000 salt
spray hours whereas chrome fails within ten hours. |
• |
Whereas
ENHP offers superior corrosion protection in acidic environments, EN low phosphorus (ENLP) has proven highly resistant in alkaline
environments. |
• |
EN bonding
to the part is far superior to chrome, approximately 100,000
- 200,000 PSI compared to 40,000 - 60,000 PSI for chromes. |
• |
EN can
be heat-treated to produce hardness values equivalent to hard
chrome. In lubricated wear applications, EN is comparable to hard
chrome. In non-lubricated wear applications, a duplex coating of ENLP
over ENHP and/or selective heat treatment has shown improvements over
chrome. |
• |
EN has
been used extensively in the oil & gas, automotive, and
aerospace industries since 1964. |
• |
The future
of EN will involve the creation of composite chemistries such
as Electroless Nickel Boron |
|
| |
These identify
but a few of the primary advantages of electroless nickel. Our
goal is to introduce you to the full services our company provides.
We
offer a relationship whereby you can be assured we are committed to providing you
with cost effective quality finishing.
